Perseus House Leadership School has bedbugs. My son Jaden just came home after telling me his school is infested with bedbugs! For the past 2 weeks he has stated that there have been repeated sightings of bedbugs and the students are finding them on themselves and furniture. I have left a message for Perseus and am waiting for a call back. No notes or calls have been made to parents to notify of the infestation. He has not seen an exterminator, so I do not know if one has been contracted. I have called the health department and filed a complaint but Perseus is deceiving parents by covering up the issue!!! Disgusting. read more

The Goulash Chronicles: A Descent into Aquatic Purgatory I…read morehave returned from the brink, though a piece of my soul remains trapped in the filter of the YMCA shallow end. For those tracking my descent into madness, prepare yourselves for a tale of liquid treachery and the most disinterested deity to ever wear a polyester whistle. The Treacherous Shallows My journey began following a grueling session with my interpretive hopscotch league. I was seeking the baptismal clarity of the pool; instead, I found a lukewarm grave. I stepped into the shallow end--a depth so pathetic it barely dampened my shins--and promptly began to perish. It was a feat of anatomical impossibility. I was drowning in what was essentially a glorified puddle, my dignity dissolving faster than a cheap bouillon cube. Every desperate splash was a testament to my own physical incompetence, a silent scream for a God who had clearly clocked out for lunch. The Human Tsunami Enter Abdula: a child of such monumental, gravitational presence that his mere entry into the water caused a localized sea-level rise. Abdula did not swim; he displaced. His rolls functioned as organic flotation devices that defied both the laws of physics and the Geneva Conventions. He was a whirling dervish of "fat-chud energy," flailing with a smugness that suggested he knew his sheer mass would eventually beach me like a tragic, hopscotching whale. The Goulash God And then, there was The Sentinel. A towering, golden-haired colossus of questionable Eastern European origin--a man who radiated the "musty gym locker" chic of a disgraced Olympic shot-putter. Perched atop his throne like a bored Roman emperor, he managed a feat of multitasking that would make Gordon Ramsay weep. In one hand: a steaming bowl of industrial-grade goulash. In the other: a cracked iPhone, where he was aggressively day-trading crypto with the frantic energy of a man who had already lost his house. As Abdula's tidal waves threatened to consume my very existence, our "hero" didn't reach for a buoy. He reached for a spoon. He sat there, stirring his stew with a rhythmic, soul-crushing indifference. He watched me gasp for air in four inches of water, locked eyes with my fading soul, whispered a solemn "Walahi," and returned to his failing portfolio. The scent of paprika and despair hung heavy in the humid air. The Verdict Eventually, the universe grew bored of mocking me, and I crawled onto the tiles, shivering and defeated. Abdula remained, a glorious, floating island of chaos. The lifeguard didn't offer a towel; he merely grunted at a particularly nasty dip in the Ethereum markets and took another bite of his meat-slurry. Ambiance: Damp basement meets high-stakes gambling den. Safety: Non-existent, unless you can be rescued by a flying potato. The Lifeguard: A professional gatekeeper of death who prioritizes stew over stewardship. Final Rating: * 5 Stars for the existential crisis. 0 Stars for the rescue. Infinity Stars for Abdula's majestic, physics-defying girth. Beware the Shallows. Beware the Goulash. Walahi.

It appears that the YMCA uses most of the building with the arena and pool. The library is smaller (relative to Central Branch) with limited seating for individual work on the first and second floors. All the tables were taken but I found a spot at bench seating. The newer building is nice and there is an accessible playground outside. The exterior is white and pretty nondescript. To me it looks like a white rectangle, but there are large windows letting in a lot of natural light. It's easy to move around for people with disabilities, as far as I can tell (fully accessible building).

I came back and got the Tote, it rang up at $18 this time with tax and asked if I wanted to add a tip. I said No and continued my purchase. When I got home, I looked at the receipt and saw not only was the Tote a dollar more, but a $3.60 tip was added after I said No. I like the Tote but I do not like being ripped off.

The Starbucks at House Three Thirty is a welcoming spot to meet, relax, or get some work done.

Secret Coffee is a free-to-use meeting space with a table for 10. Great for small groups, catch-ups, or community work.

Across the street is a statue of a young George Washington delivering the letter from the State of Virginia stating the French were trespassing on British soil. He is wearing either a british or Virginia militia uniform. The only statue like this in the USA. There is no signs of the original fort remaining, but with the aid of this museum, your imagination and your love of history, you can feel like you are there. The museum staff opened especially for us, as the members were making native American articles for re-creation purposes. One man was from the original take over of Alcatraz back in the 70s. I believed his tales as I was a long time employee of the tours of Alcatraz myself.

The original structure was replaced and then that one was replaced with what we see today in 1867.

Another couple who followed us did the same. Sadly they lost out on 4 people's fares to take a quick tour simply because they were bracing themselves for the onslaught of children.

Fought on September 10, 1813, the battle became a pivotal point in the war, because the victory returned control over Lake Erie to the United States. The memorial was dedicated in 1926 on the 113th anniversary of the Battle. The marker reads, "Under the command of Oliver Hazard Perry, the Lake Erie Squadron was constructed along the Erie shoreline during the summer of 1813. The Presque Isle peninsula, which forms a natural bay and helps to protect Erie from the lake's harsh conditions, provided Perry and his men with a sheltered location to build their ships. Perry's victory over the British at the Battle of Lake Erie secured U.S. control of the lake and gave America a much-needed morale boost for continuing the fight for independence." There is a parking lot nearby which is also the spot for catching the boat tour. [Review 1383 of 2024 - 660 in Pennsylvania - 22406 overall]
